Napoli are coming off a stunning season. If the Partenopei have gleaned their first Scudetto since 1990, Victor Osimhen’s teammates can nevertheless harbor some regrets in the Champions League where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals against AC Milan. However, after restoring their image, Napoli took a radical turn this summer by not finding common ground with Luciano Spalletti and replacing him with Rudi Garcia. With the former OM coach at the helm, Naples will have to reinvent itself for next season and this also involves the transfer market. A priority site for the club, the midfielder should be turned upside down this summer, while an arrival in this sector remains conditional on the departure of Piotr Zielinski. As we relayed to you a few days ago, Naples is following Lucas Tousart and Maxime Lopez with attention. Two players that Garcia particularly likes since he had them under his command respectively in Lyon and Marseille.

However, according to our indiscretions, the priority track of Napoli in the midfield is none other than Giovani Lo Celso. Also targeted as a plan B by Barça in the event of failure in the Bernardo Silva file, the former PSG is also unanimous in the eyes of the Neapolitan board which has already established initial contacts with the management of Tottenham. Negotiations not very encouraging for the moment because the Spurs want a dry sale of the native of Rosario while their transalpine counterparts have only offered a loan with a purchase option of 20 million euros. If he does not manage to get his hands on the 27-year-old midfielder, the staff of the Campania club targets Lazar Samardzic, Tommaso Pobega, Samuele Ricci and André Almeida. Naples is finally active for its midfielder!
